LONDONTOWN kur Illuminating Nail Concealer, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Gluten Free, Paraben Free Sheer Nail Polish Long Lasting Brightening Nail Care

Pros:- LONG lasting (6+ days with top coat)- customizable (can add layers for opaque color)- doesn’t damage or discolor nails- great as a base coat for other polishesCons:- hard to remove- bottle doesn’t last long when you use multiple layersThis has become my staple daily nail polish. It lasts longer than any other regular nail polish I’ve tried (regular meaning not gel or others that need cured). I’ve used this several times and it consistently lasts 6+ days without a touch up. I usually add 2-3 layers depending on how opaque I want it to be. 1 layer is really sheer and very natural, which also looks great but I usually do more than 1. I’ve tried the original, pink and bubble. I much prefer the pink (it’s a VERY light pink shade, more pinkish white with more than 1 layer). This is a great daily shade or a great base coat for other polishes.I also want to add that I haven’t tried it without a top coat. I always use a top coat but this polish still lasts longer comparatively. I usually use OPI and get around 4 days before I need a touch up on the edges or complete redo. This easily lasts twice as long. My holy grail top is Esse Gel Couture Quick Dry Top Coat - which you can also grab on Amazon and it doesn’t need cured despite “gel” being in the title.Pictures show the last time I used it. (I painted them quickly so not my best work lol but I always forget to take pics for a review). I show it over 8 days and now my edges are starting to wear away. I will also say that it’s a bit hard to take off and find that I often need to use acetone first, which I don’t love bc it’s drying, but I just follow with a nourishing remover and use lotion or cuticle oil so my nails don’t dry out.

I got the color : Original and use 2 coats.I never understand when ppl say they prepare their nails. Not sure what exactly they are doing, but I just wash my hands with soap and water to get any oil residue off. Then I hold my fingertips on a little space heater to really dry them out- maybe 30 seconds. Since I'm right handed, my left hand looks good, my right hand looks questionable but that's not the polish' fault.I use 2 coats with a approx. Drying period of 1 minute in between. The polish is rather quick drying but I still wait about 15 minutes.The polish looks nice for about 5 days, then it slowly starts to come off which I think is alot better than other polishes, especially since I'm doing all my dishes by hand. After those 5 days I take the old polish off and apply a new coat that's where the BUT comes in. I'm not sure if I can blame the polish or the acetone, or both. My nails start to break and get brittle, after about 4 weeks of use. That's when I have to give my nails a 6 weeks " resting" time

I ordered the pink color but was sent the original. Customer service was kind enough to refund me and allow me to keep the product. I applied 2 coats with unbelievable ease which was surprising to me due to my hand tremors. I think the rounded shape of the brush makes a big difference. I’ve put it through 1.5 weeks of testing so far without a hint of chipping. I didn’t apply bottom or top coats. I did heavy duty yard work without gloves. My nails were muddy underneath but not a chip of my nails or polish. I tried the pink one when it arrived. I only applied 1 coat and it revealed a nice pink sheen. Still no chipping or peeling for a week. Also, these polishes dried within 15 minutes without top and bottom coats. The picture shows the pink kur. I already ordered 3 new colors. I also ordered the smudge fix in case my polish gets gloppy.I ordered Accelerating Drying oil and Smudge Fix. Both deserved 0 stars. Please don’t waste your $… I do suggest using a top coat for both 1 and 2 coats.

I have been using this polish for just over a year. While I don’t paint my nails ALL the time, this is my favorite “go to” polish. I have the “Original” color and am ordering the “Pink” one next.Original is a beautiful buildable, milky, white coverage. I’ve been really into making French manicures with it now by using white on my tips before applying this one. Photo is two coats.I feel it lasts well enough for a home mani - about a week or more usually. I don’t (usually) use base coats and do try to use a top coat (however I didn’t in the photo provided).

Love it. I have weak nails that I need to keep short. Bright polish just seems to highlight that I can’t grow out my nails! But this makes them look like it’s a choice to keep them short and classy. Deducted a star because it did chip after just a few days. Skipping a base coat and just applying one coat of this before SecheVite as a top coat seemed to give me a couple extra days before chipping. And I prefer the look of just one coat anyway, it’s a subtle tint but it is noticeable.

I do not baby my nails at all. I'm always digging the in garden without gloves, shoveling gravel, doing dishes etc. My nails were getting a bit stained and I kept breaking them too. When this polish arrived, I scrubbed my nails, buffed out some of the ridges and put one coat on. It made my nails shiny and healthy looking, hid some of the staining too. During week, I continued with my normal work. No new stains on my nails, no chipping either. After a week I removed the polish, had to cut my nails since they had grown to long, buffed them again and put on a new coat of polish. Looks perfect again. I am 100% satisfied.

This product was not as advertised. It was see through/sheer as described, though when testing it, subsequently adding three coats to achieve the pink color shown on the product page for the “Bubble” pink shade, after it dried it had virtually no color as if not polished at all. It was not the pink color as shown within the product description that I needed, therefore I will be giving it away.Given this I reduced the review of it, but do believe it would work well for someone wanting a more natural look or it could be used as the overlay polish for a French manicure. Thank you.
